Prince Royce celebrates his first No. 1 from his new album, Eterno, as “How Deep Is Your Love” leads Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart. The song completes the trek in 10 weeks, after a 2-1 jump on the ranking dated June 28.
“How Deep Is Your Love,” a bilingual bachata version of the Bee Gee’s three-week champ on the overall Billboard Hot 100 (1977), is the first single off Royce’s eighth studio album, Eterno, which debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Top Tropical Albums chart (dated May 31). It takes over the Latin Airplay chart after a 23% gain in audience impressions, to 9.9 million, earned in the United States during the June 13-19 tracking week, according to Luminate. The song moves ahead with the Greatest Gainer honor –awarded weekly to the track with the largest audience growth among the 50 songs on the chart.
With “How Deep Is Your Love,” Royce achieves his 18th Latin Airplay No. 1, extending his mark among tropical acts with the second-most chart-toppers. He trails only Romeo Santos, who leads with 22 champs, the most in the history of the 30-year-old tally. Here is a review of those tropical acts and their No. 1s:
22, Romeo Santos
18, Prince Royce
16, Carlos Vives
14, Marc Anthony
12, Don Omar
12, Gloria Estefan
“How Deep Is Your Love” drives Royce to his 25th No. 1 on Tropical Airplay, likely after a 2-1 climb. He continues third among all artists on the chart, trailing only Marc Anthony, who holds the record with 37 No. 1 hits, and Victor Manuelle with 29.
Elsewhere, the song becomes the highest weekly debut on the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart, where it opens at No. 41.

At long last, one of Liam Payne‘s final projects will get to be seen by the public next month.
On Tuesday (June 24), Netflix released the first official trailer for its new series Building the Band, which features the late One Direction star as a judge alongside Nicole Scherzinger and Kelly Rowland.
In the clip, the audience is introduced to 50 singers, each isolated in their own booths as they can only listen to one another “audition” for the collective, with fellow competitors pressing a button in their booth if they want to work with them. The show aims to have these singers form six bands out of the audition process sight unseen, before getting to “the real work,” as Scherzinger calls it, of putting together a cohesive aesthetic when they finally meet in person.
For Payne’s part, clips show the late musician working with a group of singers on their vocal performances. “You have a lot of work to do, vocally,” he says. “I need to feel that connection between you guys.” Another clip shows him appearing to console a group after a performance. “How these bands are put together is not normal; we weren’t put together that way,” he says, seemingly in reference to One Direction.
The new series, which is set to air on Netflix beginning Wednesday, July 9, wrapped filming just two months before Payne died last year, after he fell three stories from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Netflix announced in January that the show would be released as planned, with Payne included after consulting with the late singer’s family. A press release shared with the new trailer said that Payne’s family has watched the series and is “supportive of his inclusion” in the final product.

After topping Billboard‘s rock charts with 2025 anniversary album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (Deluxe Edition), My Chemical Romance has announced a five-date South American tour scheduled for early 2026.

The emo heavyweight will visit Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, with Swedish band The Hives as special guests.
The band’s upcoming 10-date North American stadium tour in 2025 will focus on 2006 album The Black Parade, a set the group re-released in 2016 to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The New Jersey rock band will kick off the tour on July 11 in Seattle, make a stop in Los Angeles and wrap up on Sept. 13 in Tampa, Fla.
In an Instagram post, the teaser for My Chemical Romance’s South American tour uses “Helena” — which peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2005 — as its soundtrack. It’s a song from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004), which could hint at a different focus in the setlist compared to the North American tour.
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge was the album that marked the band’s major breakthrough in 2004, returning to the No. 1 spot on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts dated June 21. The album also hit the top 10 for the first time (reentering at No. 6) on the all-genre Billboard 200 after its deluxe reissue.

When The Who first hit the United States, Billboard reported in its April 30, 1966, issue that “four boys from London have an ear-splitting, gut-busting” debut album. The band was infamously wild onstage during its initial run, which ended with a 1982 farewell tour, recorded for the Who’s Last live album.
Forty-three years later, and 26 after the band reunited full time in 1999, the duo of Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend is embarking on what it says is its final North American trek, The Song Is Over, which will begin Aug. 16 in Sunrise, Fla., near Miami. From the band’s early stateside gigs to its 2010 Super Bowl halftime show performance, Billboard has tracked The Who’s what, when, where and why.

Who’s Paying
According to an article in the April 8, 1967, issue, “The Who says they have come to the U.S. to familiarize the public with what they are contributing to contemporary music.” Townshend quickly became familiar with the “far better” American concert grosses: “Most younger people in Europe can’t pay $3 to $4 to see us,” he said. In the Aug. 14, 1971, issue, Billboard hailed the group’s “high energy display that had microphones twirling and guitars being broken” on the Tommy tour.
Who’s to Blame?
“See Concert Changes After 11 Die” ran the top headline of the Dec. 15, 1979, Billboard after a crowd stampede claimed 11 lives at The Who’s Dec. 3 Cincinnati show. The issue reported on the accident, as well as the ensuing investigation. “People are talking about blame on this,” Frank Barsalona, president of the agency that booked the band at the time, told Billboard. “Has anyone asked the parents why the kids acted like they did?”
Who’s Done
“The Who’s dissipated youth is behind it, which may be why this is the group’s farewell tour,” said the Oct. 30, 1982, Billboard. “Not that the Who put on a bad show. At this point, they would really have to work to do that.” When the so-called last tour came, four years after drummer Keith Moon’s death, the reviewer noted, “It was still sad to see the end. After all, they still have the stamina.”
Who’s Back
When Townshend, Daltrey and John Entwistle played a series of reunion gigs in 1989, Billboard’s reviewer did not see sparks. “For listeners who sought rock’n’roll spontaneity, change and creativity — as the Who themselves once had — the concert was like tuning in to classic rock radio,” according to the July 8, 1989, issue. “It was a performance that both exposed the power of its musical history and the perils of tampering with the same.”
Who’s on TV
Billboard featured The Who on the cover of its Feb. 6, 2010, issue, tied to the band’s Super Bowl performance. “I’ve felt a bit peeved that everybody’s talking about the Super Bowl and not talking about the Who’s next show, so for once we get the benefit of both,” Townshend told Billboard. Still, he had one tiny gripe: “I wish it was a soccer match.” When the Feb. 20 issue reported a 102% sales bump for the band’s Greatest Hits, though, no one was complaining.
This story appears in the June 21, 2025, issue of Billboard.

Comedians and “Succession-Tok” creators Taylor Owen and James Neal are taking their The Regular Sketch Show from viral to IRL this fall via an eight-city tour of theaters in major markets.
On the heels of their sold-out live performance at The New York Comedy Festival in November, the duo will bring their act — which includes impressions, parodies, sketches and banter — to larger venues with a live music element.
Owen’s and Neal’s parodies of such binge-worthy series as Succession, The Bear, The White Lotus, Vanderpump Rules and Yellowstone have collectively racked up tens of millions of views on TikTok. (“Yellowstone in 45 Seconds (part two)” alone has topped 10 million.) Their fans refer to themselves as “Regs,” and the twosome has been hired by such national brands as HBO, Apple+, Walmart, L’Oreal and Applebee’s to create culture-driven content. And Owen has appeared in Abbott Elementary, Dave and Veep.
“We could not be more excited to bring The Regular Sketch Show on the road,” Owen and Neal said in a joint statment. “Social media has made it easier to reach the masses, but there is something special about performing comedy on stage. It’s vulnerable, intimate and best of all allows us to meet our Regs in person.”
Last year was a pivotal one for the duo. A few months before their sold-out performance at the New York Comedy Festival, they got engaged after Neal proposed to Owen in Florence, Italy. The couple is planning to wed next year. Business first, honeymoon later.
Tickets are on sale now. See below for the tour dates.

Temperatures are currently up around a hot 100 degrees throughout a wide stretch of the United States.
Related subject matter has made for hit songs over the history of the Billboard Hot 100. Many entries with “hot” or “heat” in their titles have sizzled, including seven at No. 1: “Heat Waves,” by Glass Animals, in 2022; “Hot N Cold,” by Katy Perry (2008); “This Is Why I’m Hot,” by Mims (2007); “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” by Snoop Dogg featuring Pharrell (2004); “Hot in Herre,” by Nelly (2002); “Here Comes the Hotstepper,” by Ini Kamoze (1994); and “Hot Stuff,” by Donna Summer (1979).
Oddly enough, all of those songs except for “Hot in Herre” and “Hot Stuff” peaked in cold-weather months (easing the workload of fireplaces and furnaces).
In honor of scalding songs that have burned paths up the Hot 100, Billboard has ranked the 40 biggest hits with “hot” or “heat” in their names. The oldest song on the list? The Dartells’ tasty 1963 single “Hot Pastrami.” The newest: Chappell Roan’s “Hot To Go!,” from last year.
Check out the entire sultry survey below. (Importantly, here are some ways to help keep cool and stay safe.)
This ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Hot 100 chart from its Aug. 4, 1958, inception, through June 21, 2025. Songs with “hot” or “heat” in their titles are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.

Produced by Black Promoters Collective, The Boy Is Mine Tour will also feature an eye-popping lineup of special guests, including four-time Grammy winner Kelly Rowland, two-time Grammy winner Muni Long, and American Idolseason 23 champ Jamal Roberts. Long dropped her fourth studio album, Revenge, last summer (Aug. 30, 2024), and Roberts recently notched a No. 1 debut on Hot Gospel Songs just weeks before tributing Kirk Franklin at the 2025 BET Awards. Earlier this month, Rowland was announced as The Voice UK‘s newest coach.
“This really is a full-circle moment,” Brandy, who landed at No. 41 on the Billboard staff’s 75 Best R&B Singers of All Time list, said in a press release. “Monica and I coming together again isn’t just about the music — it’s about honoring where we came from and how far we’ve both come. ‘The Boy Is Mine’ was a defining chapter in R&B, and to share the stage all these years later is bigger than a reunion — it’s a celebration of growth, sisterhood, and the love our fans have given us from day one.”
The R&B icons, who reunited on 2012’s “It All Belongs to Me,” announced their new tour with a cinematic short film helmed by filmmaker and production designer Ethan Tobman, who has worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. Set in a maximum sound asylum, the tour trailer finds Brandy and Monica using their powerful and “forbidden” harmonies to break free.
“The love that ‘The Boy Is Mine’ continues to receive means everything to me,” Monica said in a press release. “This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us. Brandy and I have been on our own unique journeys, and coming back together in this way is a reminder of the power of respect, strength, and real music. We’re giving the people what they’ve been asking for, and doing it with grace, love, and purpose. God’s timing perfectly aligned us.”
Last year, Brandy and Monica earned their 13th and fifth Grammy nominations, respectively, thanks to their featured turn on Grande’s “The Boy Is Mine” remix. Named after their duet, Grande’s Eternal Sunshine single reached No. 16 on the Hot 100 and soundtracked a Catwoman-inspired music video featuring cameos from all three ladies, as well as You actor Penn Badgley.

A new feature-length documentary spotlighting the historic fandom of global superstars BTS is set to hit theaters worldwide this July.
Titled Forever We Are Young, the film centers on ARMY, BTS’s devoted global fanbase, and will open in cinemas on Wednesday, July 30 via Trafalgar Releasing. Tickets will be available beginning July 2 at btsarmymovie.com.
Directed by award-winning filmmakers Grace Lee and Patty Ahn, Forever We Are Young explores the passion, creativity and activism that defines BTS ARMY. From Seoul to Los Angeles, Lewisville to Mexico City, the film follows fans across continents who share one powerful connection: their love for BTS. The project dives into the fan-led movements that helped launch BTS into superstardom and reflects on how ARMY has become a global symbol of unity, inclusion and collective strength.
“There is no BTS without ARMY and no ARMY without BTS,” said co-directors Lee and Ahn in a joint statement. “We’re excited for audiences to go on an emotional journey and meet a fandom that made us laugh, cry, and think.”
Forever We Are Young made its world premiere at SXSW 2025 in Austin, Texas, to sold-out audiences and standing ovations, followed by screenings in cities like Copenhagen, Mexico City, and Los Angeles. The film features stories from ReactorCon in Texas, dance cover groups in South Korea, and longtime fans who have organized and mobilized ARMY since BTS’s 2013 debut.
Produced by Eurie Chung, Grace Lee, Nora Chute, and Patty Ahn, and executive produced by Oscar winner Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom), Caitrin Rogers, and James Shin, the film blends personal stories with global milestones to illustrate ARMY’s profound cultural impact. Oscar Vazquez and Aldo Velasco serve as editors, with original music by Andrew Orkin and cinematography by Jerry Henry.
BTS, whose name stands for “Bangtan Sonyeondan” (Beyond the Scene), debuted in 2013 and have since become one of the most successful acts in pop history. With six Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits and millions of albums sold globally, the group’s cultural influence extends well beyond music. ARMY, short for “Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth,” now boasts over 90 million members worldwide.
Trafalgar Releasing has a long history of distributing BTS content, including record-breaking concert films and live event broadcasts. “The global impact of BTS is undeniable,” said Kymberli Frueh, SVP of Content Acquisitions and Programming at Trafalgar Releasing. “We are proud to bring this film to big screens across the globe to celebrate the impact of the fans themselves.”
Select theaters will feature limited-edition posters and themed concessions for the release.
Forever We Are Young opens worldwide on July 30. For updates and tickets, visit btsarmymovie.com.

In a message posted to social media on June 24, Doherty recalled their creative bond and the joy Walden brought to others. “Jesus that’s a shot in the heart. You brought joy to so many f—ing people, mate,” he wrote. The Babyshambles frontman remembered nights spent writing music together, including their work on the band’s 2005 debut album Down in Albion, and recounted stories from their early days, such as both crashing on the floor at Rooz Studios or staying up until dawn working on songs like “Pipedown.”
“Used to call me Petey! Huh!?” Doherty began. “I was in Mexico lately, and a kid in the street had a tattoo of you and a Shambles French dog on his chest, so I got the French dog tattooed the next day. I meant to call and tell you. I’m telling you now, Pat mate.”
Doherty’s tribute followed a statement from Babyshambles on June 20 confirming Walden’s passing. No cause of death has been disclosed. The group wrote: “We feel very fortunate to have known/loved and worked with him and we kindly ask for respect and privacy during these difficult times.”
Walden joined Babyshambles in the band’s early days, co-writing several tracks on Down in Albion including fan favorites “Pipedown,” “Loyalty Song” and “F— Forever,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart. He left the band shortly after the album’s release and was replaced by Mick Whitnall for 2007’s Shotter’s Nation. Despite his departure, Walden occasionally rejoined the group on stage over the years.
Earlier this year, Doherty, bassist Drew McConnell, and drummer Adam Ficek performed a surprise Babyshambles reunion set featuring “Albion” and “F— Forever,” leading to speculation that a full reunion might follow.
Walden’s work with Babyshambles—and his influence on early-2000s British indie rock—remains an essential part of the band’s legacy. “To know you were loved and will be missed. To all your friends and family, be at rest in peace, Pat,” Doherty concluded.
